I had a new rear windscreen fitted on the insurance and it's leaking.
I've got the makers workshop manual and that says to use sealer between
window and rubber when fitting the rubber to the screen, and then sealer
(obviously) between rubber and body. I watched the fitter at work and he
didn't use any between glass and rubber. Now if it's needed with a new
rubber surely even more necessary with an old one?

Obviously I will complain to the company, but don't want some temporary
bodge done. So does anyone know what the correct way is these days with
the type that has a separate rubber seal?

"Correct" way is to use a new rubber but also always to use the non-

See, this is why I do these jobs myself.

My guess was that. And new rubbers are no problem and not that expensive
at under 20 quid. So saying, the old one looks to be in good condition and
still flexible.

I have this weird idea it's nice to try and get some of that insurance
premium back.

So you can give it back to them in increased premiums next year?

Does it count as a claim? So you have to declare it?
